Took the fleet out.

Took the opportunity to get all the tanks photographed together. Not often I take the time to do this…..

I know what it takes to get em all out. After 3 it becomes a chore.

:thumbup: Cool. One day I’ll get the whole bunch out for a group shot. Last 2 are almost complete. But as Mr. Chef said it can be a major chore. Mr. Rat for someone who doesn’t like Tigers you have 2 nice examples :haha:

Those are great to see, Ian! I have been eyeing up the tarp trick on your Challenger. I think you explained somewhere sometime how you somehow did it.

I see you have a nice stack of firewood. Did you split all that? Brings back memories of swinging a 6 pound splitting maul.

Nice armor array.

Simple, a piece of cloth wrapped around some wire, tied up with twine.

Definitely old school. Something therapeutic about chopping wood. An hour a week, or a barrow a night.

Six more piles like this. Plus other wood. To fill one wood store. Two more wood stores over the land.

That is impressive! Not sure I could produce that stockpile amount but I would try. Hat’s off to you!
